Compact wind sensor for remote weapons stations

FT Technologies’ compact, rugged wind sensors have been delivering reliable data in the harshest of environments for over 20 years. Combat-proven and designed to withstand severe shocks, FT wind sensors function in extreme temperature ranges and are sealed to IPX6K. Tried and tested on remote weapon stations, in CBRN detection, ballistic meteorology, onboard sUAS and at UAV ground control stations to provide consistent, reliable data and increased accuracy for fire control. With thousands of sensors deployed around the world and over 30 external certifications, the quality of FT sensors is second to none.

One of the most popular models for remote weapon stations is the FT722 Pipe Mount. The sensor is only 16cm tall, weighs 350g and reads wind speeds of up to 50m/s.
